> Please review this change to use JUnit in tests of `test/langtools/tools/javac`.
>
> ### Assess Status Quo
> A local `make test TEST=test/langtools/tools/javac` run before the conversion yields:
>
> Test results: passed: 3,938; excluded: 4; did not match keywords: 2; did not meet platform requirements: 2
> Framework-based tests: 3043 = 2762 TestNG + 281 JUnit
>
>
> ### Perform Automatic Conversion
> - [junit-convert](
> https://github.com/lahodaj/netbeans/tree/openjdk-testng-junit-fixes-and-hacks/java/java.openjdk.project/junit-convert)
>
> ### Perform Manual Adjustments
>
> Some of the following adjustments will be integrated into the `junit-convert` tool.
>
> #### Make argument source factory method `static`
>
> Method 'public java.lang.Object[][] org.openjdk.tests.javac.FDTest.caseGenerator()'
> must be static: local factory methods must be static
> unless the PER_CLASS @testinstance lifecycle mode is used;
> external factory methods must always be static.
>
>
> #### Make `@AfterAll`-annotated method `static`
>
> [ERROR] @afterall method 'public void org.openjdk.tests.vm.FDSeparateCompilationTest.cleanupCompilerCache()'
> must be static unless the test class
> is annotated with `@TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)`.
>
>
> #### Remove `static` modifier from `@Test`-annotated methods
> This configuration error should have been detected by JUnit Jupiter and reported via the Discovery
> Issues API: https://docs.junit.org/current/user-guide/#running-tests-discovery-issues
>
> #### Rename test property to `JUnit.dirs`
>
> package org.junit.jupiter.api does not exist
>
>
> #### Add custom test instance factory
>
> Class [FDTests] must declare a single constructor
> Class [MethodReferenceTestKinds] must declare a single constructor
>
>
> ### Results
> Re-run tests via `make test TEST=test/langtools/tools/javac` after the conversion; yielding:
>
> Test results: passed: 3,939; excluded: 4; did not match keywords: 2; did not meet platform requirements: 2
> Framework-based tests: 3043 = 0 TestNG + 3043 JUnit
Christian Stein has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The pull request now contains 10 commits:
- Merge remote-tracking branch 'openjdk/master' into JDK-8366678-use-junit-in-javac-tests
# Conflicts:
# test/jdk/java/security/SignedJar/spi-calendar-provider/TestSPISigned.java
- Restore comment - it is unrelated to the JUnit conversion
- Update to use correct library directories
See also: https://openjdk.org/jtreg/faq.html#how-do-i-find-the-path-for-the-testng-or-junit-jar-files
- 8361950: Set required version to 8+2
- 8361950: Update to use jtreg 8
- Refactor test classes to have a unique constructor
That way, Jupiter doesn't need the help of a custom test instance factory
- Update copyright year
- Remove `static` modifier from `@Test`-annotated methods
This configuration error should have been detected
by JUnit Jupiter and reported via the Discovery
Issues API:
https://docs.junit.org/current/user-guide/#running-tests-discovery-issues
- Manual adjustments
- Make argument source factory method `static`
Solves:
```
Method 'public java.lang.Object[][] org.openjdk.tests.javac.FDTest.caseGenerator()'
must be static: local factory methods must be static
unless the PER_CLASS @TestInstance lifecycle mode is used;
external factory methods must always be static.
```
- Make `@AfterAll`-annotated method `static`
Solves:
```
[ERROR] @AfterAll method 'public void org.openjdk.tests.vm.FDSeparateCompilationTest.cleanupCompilerCache()'
must be static unless the test class
is annotated with `@TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)`.
```
- Rename test property to `JUnit.dirs`
Solves:
```
package org.junit.jupiter.api does not exist
```
- Add custom test instance factory
Solves:
```
Class [FDTests] must declare a single constructor
Class [MethodReferenceTestKinds] must declare a single constructor
```
- Initial automatic conversion
